The Kera Lightning is transforming lives for couples like Margaret and Jim.
“I’m here all day lifting him on my own,” says Margaret, who is caring for her husband Jim who has had Parkinson’s for nearly 20 years. “It’s hard on my back and it’s hard on Jim. It’s caused so much damage to my body, but now it has a chance to heal.”
Late one night, Margaret was searching for solutions when she came across the Kera hoist, amazed she hadn’t heard of it before. “That was at half past two in the morning. At 9 o'clock, I rang Alex.”
“We're now in possession of a Kera Lightning and it means we can get in the car, we can go out, out for coffees, out to see friends, go away for a few nights, which we haven't been able to do for a long time. If we have to evacuate, I can get Jim out quickly.”
“The Kera Lightning is a game changer for us.”

What people are saying about the Kera!
“I used to stay awake at night wondering how I am going to cope. Now Barbara can stay in the home.”
John
“I can't imagine using anything else. It doesn't need extra people to transfer someone safely.”
Gary
“When Dad was discharged from hospital they told us at least 3 people were needed to move him but with the Kera, only one person is needed. Mum can independently move Dad and the family has more balance in our lives.”
